Are you passionate about helping children overcome barriers to learning and reach their full potential?
Veritas Education is seeking caring, enthusiastic and dedicated Child Development Support Workers to support specialist SEN primary and all-through educational settings across Halifax.
We are working with schools supporting children with a range of additional needs, including Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), communication and interaction difficulties, sensory processing needs, learning difficulties and social, emotional and behavioural needs (SEMH).
These specialist environments provide a nurturing and structured approach to education, recognising that every child learns differently and requires individualised support to thrive.
Whether you have previous SEN experience or come from a background in childcare, education, care or youth work, this could be an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful difference.
The Role
Provide 1:1 and small-group support to pupils with additional needs.
Support children with Autism, communication difficulties and complex learning needs.
Encourage early development, social interaction and communication skills.
Assist pupils with sensory activities, structured routines and transitions throughout the school day.
Promote positive behaviour, emotional regulation and independence.
Adapt learning activities to meet individual abilities and developmental stages.
Create a safe, welcoming and engaging environment where children feel supported.
Work closely with teachers, therapists and other support professionals to help pupils achieve their individual targets.
What We're Looking For
Have experience supporting children with SEN, Autism or additional learning needs.
Understand the importance of patience, consistency and positive reinforcement.
Can build trusting relationships with children who may communicate or express themselves differently.
Are confident adapting their approach to suit individual needs.
Have a nurturing, proactive and child-centred attitude.
Are comfortable supporting children with personal care where required.
Level 2 English and maths (GCSE grade 4/C or Functional Skills).
Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is mandatory. (We can help advise on this)
Transferable experience is welcomed! We would love to hear from:
Primary Teaching Assistants.
Nursery Practitioners and Early Years Educators.
Residential Childcare Workers.
Care Assistants and Support Workers.
Youth Workers.
Behaviour Support Assistants.
Psychology and Childhood Studies Graduates.
